The Ruling on Children and Animals Passing in Front of the One Praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it difficult to prevent children from passing between him and the sutrah?
Answer:
In any case, he should turn them back if it is easy to do so. If they overpower him, it does not harm him. However, if it is easy, he should turn them back, including animals; the goat, the camel, and the cow—he should turn them all back if it is easy. If they overpower him, they do not break his prayer, except for one of three: the menstruating woman—meaning the adult woman—the donkey, and the black dog. These three are the ones that break the prayer, and anything other than them does not break it. However, they are prevented from passing; they should not pass. But if they do pass, they do not break the prayer.
